General Information

Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher
who has data they want to analyze, and no prior computational experience is required.
This hands-on workshop teaches basic concepts, skills and tools for working more
effectively with data.

We will cover Data organization in spreadsheets and OpenRefine, Introduction to R, Data analysis and visualization in R and SQL for data management.
Participants should bring their laptops and plan to participate actively. By the end of the workshop learners should be able to more effectively manage and analyze data and be able to apply the tools and approaches directly to their ongoing research.

Setup

To participate in a Data Carpentry workshop, you will need working copies of the
described software. Please make sure to install everything (or at least to download
the installers) before the start of your workshop. Participants should bring and use
their own laptops to insure the proper setup of tools for an efficient workflow
once you leave the workshop.
